The Purpose Gathering Podcast

Watch this episode on YouTubeWhat if you treated your time the same way you treat your money?

Every week you are given 168 hours, and if you are not intentional about where those hours go, they will disappear just like money does when there is no budget in place.

In today's episode I am sharing one simple tool that has completely changed the way I manage my time, the Ideal Week. I walk you through exactly how to create it, how to actually live it, and how to refine it so it works for your real life and your real family.

Because here is the truth: your time deserves a plan. And the peace and freedom on the other side of intentional living is more powerful than you might think.

In this episode you will learn:

Why your calendar is a direct reflection of your priorities
How to map out your ideal week hour by hour, day by day
Step 1 – Create It: How to build your ideal week from scratch including the non-negotiables, margin, color coding and everything in between
Step 2 – Live It: How to actually put it into practice and bring your family along for the ride
Step 3 – Refine It: How to fine tune your ideal week so it works for your real life and the seasons you are in

A practical challenge to help you take action this week.

Have you ever wondered if the metrics you are using to measure success in your business are actually the right ones?

If so, you're not alone.

In this episode, I'm sharing four kingdom metrics that I believe God wants every Christian entrepreneur to live by, and how trading the world's version of success for His will bring you more peace and calm than you have ever felt before.

This episode is part of a series called Trading Business Strategy for Surrender. Be sure to check out last week's episode first so you have the full foundation.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why the metrics you've been using may not be the ones God wants for your business.
The four worldly metrics most entrepreneurs are unknowingly living by.
Income vs. Impact: why chasing a number will never be enough.
Popularity vs. Purpose: how to stop creating out of panic and start creating out of peace.
Accumulating vs. Abiding: why rest is actually productive.
Striving vs. Surrendering: what it really means to surrender your business to God.
Key scriptures from Ecclesiastes, John, and Philippians that will shift your perspective.

Have you ever downloaded a marketing template, promised yourself this is the one, and then... quietly abandoned it two weeks later?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, I sat down with Erin Davis, wife, mom of four, and founder of Matchbox Women. She's been in brand and marketing for over 20 years and helps women attach their real, rooted, divine identity to their business.

This conversation will help you see that sustainable marketing isn't about finding the perfect template or strategy, it's about building from who God designed you to be.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why marketing strategies fail when they're not rooted in your authentic identity
The powerful truth that your real block to consistency isn't discipline, it's something you can actually remove
How choosing 3-5 core values becomes your marketing filter (so you stop reinventing the wheel)
What "building from the inside out" means and why it changes everything about how you show up
How to reframe social media as a relationship-building tool instead of a comparison trap
The truth about speed vs. sustainability (and why God keeps whispering: "It's not about how fast you go")

Have you ever felt like everything feels hard and nothing feels fun?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this unscripted episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, I'm reflecting on my journey through the Breathe Bible study by Priscilla Shirer, all about making room for Sabbath.

This honest conversation will help you see that Sabbath isn't about following rules, it's about creating space to enjoy God.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Indicators you've reached "enough": exhaustion, no joy, just going through the motions
The 3 main principles: Resist the urge to continue, Remember what you used to be, Recall what God has accomplished
Slavery mindset vs. freedom mindset (and why we keep choosing slavery)
My struggle with Christmas spending and choosing contentment over comparison
Why the study never told me "what to do" on Sabbath (and why that's the point)
My Sabbath plan moving forward: Gratitude, remembering His faithfulness, worship
Why overloading your schedule is what we do when we forget who God is
Key verse: Matthew 11:28-30

What if the biggest breakthrough in your business isn't a new strategy, but simply learning to let go?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this special episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, I'm wrapping up our "Doing Business Differently" series with the hardest topic, surrender.

For years, I did business in my own strength. I spent over $30,000 with coaches, hoping one would give me the secret formula. But I never asked the Lord if that's what He wanted me to do.

Everything changed when I started doing business meetings with God. Now I have more peace, work less, and make more than ever before.

This faith-filled conversation will help you see what it looks like to truly surrender every area of your business to the Lord.

In this episode, you'll hear:

What a business meeting with God looks like (a 20-30 minute practice with 4 steps)
Why active listening changed everything (from a few words to entire paragraph downloads)
Three ways to surrender your agenda: Hold plans loosely, Let go of outcomes, Release your timeline
The truth about "You can't steer a parked car" and why God wants us to move slowly
Three ways to discern God's voice: It's persistent, Aligned with truth, Requires faith

Have you ever felt so exhausted trying to build your business that you wonder if you're just not cut out for this?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, I'm sharing part two of our Doing Business Differently series, and we're diving deep into God's design for community. Here's something that might surprise you: the Bible has over 200 verses about community, but zero verses celebrating the lone wolf.

This conversation will help you see that the missing piece isn't another strategy, it's godly community.

In this episode, you'll hear:

Why you can't experience God's best while chasing worldly success
The powerful truth that the company you keep determines the patterns you follow
How I invested $30,000 in secular coaches and still felt something was missing
Five ways godly community transforms your business (from combating isolation to giving you permission to slow down)
What the enemy wants for you, and why he's whispering that you're too busy for community
The real reason business feels so hard (hint: it's not that you're not cut out for this)

Have you ever felt like you're one number away from finally feeling successful?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this special episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, I'm kicking off a brand new series called "Doing Business Differently," and I'm pulling back the curtain on something I've never shared before: I've never made six figures in my business.

For years, I thought that meant I wasn't successful. But God has been teaching me something profound: You can't experience God's best while chasing worldly success.

This faith-filled conversation will help you see that success isn't about the number you hit, and with God's guidance, you can redefine success His way and build a Kingdom business that brings peace, joy, and impact.

In this episode, you'll hear:

Why I've spent thousands of dollars chasing six figures (and why I kept coming up empty-handed)
The four worldly measures of success vs. God's Kingdom measures: Income vs. Impact, Popularity vs. Purpose, Accumulating vs. Abiding, Striving vs. Surrender
What Romans 12:2 teaches us about discernment and renewing our minds to recognize God's will
A powerful question that will shift how you view success forever: $200,000 or life-changing impact?
Why I struggled to leave photography (even though God was calling me to something greater)
The Priscilla Shirer quote that changed my perspective: "The grass is greener wherever you water it"
Why trading striving for surrender has brought me more peace, joy, connection, AND income than ever before
How to start measuring success by Kingdom metrics instead of worldly metrics
The key verse for this series: Romans 12:2

Have you ever felt so comfortable with exhaustion that you can't even enjoy a break when it's given to you?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this special episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, I'm doing something different. No perfect script. No polished intro. Just me, talking to you like I would talk to my best friend, sharing what I'm learning in real time about something that's completely shifting how I live.

I just practiced my first Sabbath. And I had to tell you about it.

This unscripted conversation will help you see that Sabbath isn't impossible or outdated, and with God's guidance, you can step into the rest He designed for you.

In this episode, you'll hear:

What if the conflict in your home isn't actually about the toy, the bedtime, or the disagreement, but about something deeper that no one's naming?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

This faith-filled conversation will help you see that most conflict stems from unmet needs, and with God's guidance, you can resolve it with grace instead of blame.

In this episode, you'll hear:

The common unmet needs that drive most family conflict (control, attention, connection, fairness, and more)
The OFNR framework, a practical tool for resolving any conflict without judgment or escalation
Real-life scenarios: how to use OFNR for sibling fights and parent-child power struggles
How to help everyone calm down before trying to solve the problem
The spiritual battle happening underneath conflict (and why your family isn't the enemy)

Have you ever felt physically present with your spouse, in the same room, laying in the same bed, but emotionally disconnected?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this special episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, we're taking you behind the scenes inside our November Faith-Fueled Fireside, where real women shared honest stories about keeping score, comparing their spouses, and operating like business partners instead of life partners.

Because when your marriage lives in the margins, connection becomes an afterthought.

This raw, faith-filled conversation will remind you that God multiplies the intentional moments you create for your marriage, but someone has to create those moments first.

In this episode, you'll hear:

Real stories from moms navigating the shift from roommates to connected partners
How one mama stopped keeping score after years of resentment
Why going first in your marriage isn't weakness, it's strength
The rhythm that's changing marriages (and it's not what you think)
How to lead spiritually when your husband isn't ready yet
The truth about gratitude and why focusing on the good changes everything

Have you ever caught yourself waiting for your husband to go first, to start the conversation, plan the date, or fix the tension that’s been building?

If you’re honest, maybe you’ve both been waiting… and your marriage has slipped into what I call the roommate cycle.

In Part 2 of the Marriage in the Margins series, we’re talking about what it looks like to break that cycle by choosing to go first, not out of frustration, but out of grace.

Because someone has to take the first step toward connection, and maybe that someone is you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How resentment keeps couples stuck waiting for each other
What “going first” looks like spiritually, physically, emotionally, and practically
How to ask for help and communicate needs without nagging
Why going first doesn’t mean doing everything, it means leading with maturity
A mindset shift to move from resentment to reconnection

Have you ever caught yourself keeping score in your marriage, silently comparing loads, responsibilities, or who’s doing “more”?

It’s such an easy trap to fall into, especially when life and business feel full. Before we know it, our marriage slips into the margins, surviving on leftover time and energy instead of thriving in intentional connection.

In this brand-new series, Marriage in the Margins, we’re talking about how to move from simply coexisting as “roommates” to reconnecting as true partners, with God at the center.

Because your marriage deserves more than what’s left over. It deserves your intentionality.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The 3 traps that keep couples feeling disconnected
How keeping score and comparison create distance
Why operating your marriage like a business blocks intimacy
A simple mindset shift that helps you reconnect with your spouse
How to start building intentional margins for your marriage to flourish

Have you ever followed a coach’s exact roadmap, only to feel even more confused, exhausted, or unsure if it was God’s plan for you?

How do you do the bulk of your marketing in your business? Is it all through your own efforts? Do you ever have clients referring you and doing some of that heavy lifting for you?

I recently got a question submitted through the recording option on my website that I thought would be such a good podcast deep-dive for one of my Ask Ashley shows! Miranda, a listener of the show, asked this: “I would love, love love to hear about having an ideal client experience that results in rinse and repeat clients or life-long clients where you're just offering this perfect and wonderful experience for your clients. So much so that you don't have to put all of, or really any more, marketing into getting new clients, but that your current clients do that enough for you.”

Miranda, thank you for your question! I am so excited to dive in with you and unpack what it looks like to have that ultimate client experience and have your clients do a large chunk of marketing for you. I’ll offer 7 strategies for how to flesh this out.

Do you have a love-hate relationship with Instagram? On one hand, you love it, and it seems like such a great way to connect with people and get your voice out in the world and show your beautiful photography. But then on the flip side, it's just so aggravating the amount of time that you spend pouring into content only to get a few likes, and maybe a comment or two, if you're lucky.

If you're anything like me, I have been feeling this pull in this struggle for many, many years. I have finally come to the end of my rope where I feel like I am ready to finally quit Instagram.

In this episode, you’ll hear a raw, real, honest conversation on how I feel about Instagram, why I want to quit it, and how I already have experienced what it was like to be without Instagram for over four weeks. So if you're curious about my thoughts on Instagram, and the other ways that I think are more effective uses of our marketing time, effort, and energy, then this episode of the podcast is for YOU.

Raising littles while also trying to grow a photography business can oftentimes feel like an impossible task.You know, there are so many things you could be doing in your business and even feel like you should be doing, but you're just so overwhelmed with all the things that you're just reacting to tasks left and right instead of having a focused plan for what to work on first.

You might go into first responder mode, putting out the most immediate fires first, and never feel like you're in control and know what to focus on.

Today's episode is going to be a little different. Instead of sharing my perspective with you, I'm going to be featuring 5 guests with you and sharing their Best Advice for Mom Photographers to Grow Their Business.

These guests also have something in common. They are all speakers at the upcoming Focused Mom Photographer Summit I'm hosting!

This virtual event will be from April 17th-21st 2023 and will help you purposefully organize your photography business so you can find balance, feel productive, and increase profitability without the full-time workload. Resources:

One of the most time-consuming parts of being a photographer are the endless hours of editing.

I totally remember those days when I was staying up late, I was using that time to catch up. And it just became really daunting and frustrating every time I had to edit, especially when I got really busy in the fall and spring season here in Arizona.

And although I'm not doing a ton of sessions now, I have learned over the past 10 years, some really important helpful tips to streamline the editing process, and I want to share them with you today.

It's no secret that relationships are an important part of being a business owner.

Because when someone uses a photographer that they love, they want to share that person with everyone that they meet.

But why is it that we know how important relationships are, yet we underutilize this strategy? We spend so much of our marketing efforts on social media, or in Facebook groups, just praying and spraying content and posting our link and just hoping that someone hires us.

Why do we not pour into these relationships?

In today's episode, I'm going to share with you why we don't utilize the strategy of cultivating relationships for business growth and how to overcome this. I'll also share some simple strategies and steps that you can take to make this a really natural, fun, and consistent part of your business.

Calling all cereal content consumers.

This episode is for you if you find yourself taking in a lot of knowledge, tips and strategies, but then find it really hard to implement all the things that you're learning.

I recently spoke at the Noobie photography conference hosted by Nathan Holritz. And I heard that only 5% of people who attend conferences actually go home and implement anything they learn.

This is at a conference that someone has paid for. I can only assume that the statistics are much lower when it comes to consuming free content like this podcast episode.

So today, I want to share with you a few things that I've learned over the years as a student, and now as an educator that have helped me actually implement all the things that I'm learning.

Being a mom is one of the hardest, yet most rewarding things I have ever experienced. I know that you can relate. It feels impossible sometimes to hold space for ourselves and our spouse, and the many kiddos that need our attention. It can feel so exhausting, lonely, and overwhelming.

I'll go through 9 tips I personally use for myself for making motherhood easier:

Plan Our Dinners One Month at a Time
Ordering our Groceries
Ninja Foodi
Have a Housecleaner
Having a Cordless Vaccuum Cleaner
Get a Steamer
Regular Decluttering

When you think of the word CEO, what comes to mind?

A couple of years ago, if you would have asked me that question, I would have stared at you blankly. What! Isn't a CEO just part of the corporate world?

Wrong. A CEO is the main leader of a company, whether it's big or small. The person who calls the shots and has the final say, and that's you, my friend, whether you know it, or whether you believe it. It's been an incredible experience over the past several years to watch my business transform, now that I've embraced the role as CEO.

Today, I'm sharing with you three truths that effective CEOs embrace so that you too can walk confidently into this new perspective of what the CEO of your business looks like.

Truth #1: Just Because I Can Do it All, Doesn’t Mean I Should
Truth #2: Power of Yet
Truth #3: View Failure as Fuel

Do you ever find yourself sitting down to work unsure of what to even focus on?

There are so many things you could be doing and even feel like you should be doing, but you're just so overwhelmed with all the things.. And then you just head into first responder mode, putting out the most immediate fires first and never feeling like you're in control or know what to focus on.

Instead of sharing my perspective with you today, I'm going to be featuring eight guests sharing their most important pieces of advice for mom photographers.

It can feel really personal sometimes when someone doesn't want to work with us.

Let's get real. It can feel really frustrating dealing with rejection as a photographer.

I really want to shed some light on this topic that I don't think many people are talking about. I think we tend to brush our true feelings under the rug and just grit our teeth and bear it. Fake that we're fine, when we're really crumbling inside.

Ever wondered how to find balance as a mom and a business owner?

As a mom, and a photographer, it can often feel like everything is vying for our attention and it's really hard to find that balance.

In my opinion, there's no true balance, because that would mean that every single part of your life is getting the same amount of your attention and that's just not always possible. Today, I am so excited to chat with you about this very important topic that I think a lot of moms are wondering about and that is how to find balance.

Something I hear from a lot of moms is this myth about their kids holding them back in business.

We're going to bust that myth here today.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on this mindset that we maybe didn't even realize we had.. that our kids are holding back our business from growing. Whether you always wanted to be a stay at home mom, or it was never really in your plans, here you are trying to be a business owner and still be supermom. It is stressful. Overwhelming. And just plain hard. Too much time working, not enough time with the kids, constantly being interrupted during important tasks.

I'm sharing with you four ways you can start shifting this mindset, grow your business like a boss, and still be the mom you want to be. Be sure to tune into this week's full episode using the link below.

How much of your time is spent doing what you really enjoy?

As moms, we get into this mindset that we have to do everything, and that carries over into our business.

But you don't have do everything in your business. As a photographer, maybe your passion and "zone of genius" (more on that in the episode) is the actual taking pictures part, but you don't necessarily love the editing side of it. Or, maybe you're completely fine with those things, but aren’t interested in the marketing piece.

Today, Emily Perron and I are diving into figuring out what tasks you can, and want, to outsource, how to go about finding the perfect fit, and getting you back to doing what you love most!

In today's episode I want to give you a few simple ideas for how you can connect with your children. These can be used in the moment when your child is having big emotions and they're being defiant or they can also be used as a preventative measure.

When our kids are having big emotions, we often want to jump right to the communication part and we want to just reason and not connect with them. I think part of that connection is empathy: our children need to know that they are seen and valued, and that their emotions matter. It doesn't mean that their behavior or emotions are appropriate, it just means that we are going to validate their feelings.

So, if you are ready add some new connection ideas to your tool bet, you're in the right place.

In today’s episode, I am interviewing Jessica Lambros, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Director of Stories Counseling in Gilbert, AZ. Jessica speaks about why boundaries are so important in relationships (especially marriage), and gives examples of how we can start to implement them.

Boundaries are incredibly important for all relationships. They are not meant to keep others out, rather they’re meant to keep you together as individuals.

They can be physical, emotional or time oriented. They are what you need at any given moment, and they're expectations that help keep us safe and at ease in our relationships.

So… What Kind of Boundaries do you have in your relationships? Brick wall, Doormat, or Bouncy Ball?

And what are some simple strategies to implement if you feel someone has crossed your boundaries?

Listen to today’s episode and find out what kind of boundaries you have and learn how to better enforce your boundaries.

What is the Purpose Gathering Collective? The Collective is a Monthly Mastermind Community for Service Based Mompreneurs.

A a mastermind community is a term that I created to combine a traditional group coaching program (a.k.a mastermind) with a membership community model to form a mastermind community.

Unlike a traditional mastermind with a start and end date, The PG Collective offers ongoing monthly support for as long as you need it.

What is Included? * Education: You will have access to 2 workshop style masterclasses every month. Each month we’ll have a theme. (ex. January’s theme will be all about goal setting) One class will be geared towards how the theme relates to your personal life and the other as it relates to your business. One masterclass will be taught by me and then the other will be taught by an industry expert, so we can really pour into each area of your life. * Coaching: Several time throughout the month I will offer live group coaching calls with me where you can hop on and ask any questions and get real time feedback on anything you’re struggling with, to share any promotions you’re launching or anything else that I can specifically help you with. I will also be giving weekly video tips and strategies * Accountability: You will have 5-6 mamas per group and you will get to dive deeper with your accountability group. There will be two accountability group chats every single month, where you will have time to cultivate friendships and further implement the strategies that you learn in each masterclass. * Members Only Community: You will have access to the entire community (not on Facebook) to be able to ask questions, get feedback, and also participate in hot seats. When you’re in the hot seat, you will be able to ask specific questions and then other members get to chime in and answer and give you feedback and help you find clarity. * Direct messaging capabilities + Member Directory: You can interact with other community members and have access to a member community directory where you can search for specific services that you might be looking for or interested in. * Member Led Trainings: Members will also have the opportunity to lead trainings, and this is a perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to gain practice and teach others in a safe space. * Virtual Community Building Events: There will also be several virtual community building events as well, so that you can join those and get to know more people even outside of your accountability group. We all learn so much from different perspectives and so we really want to give you the opportunity to make connections and meet new friends.

I'll be honest with you, self-care hasn't always been a priority for me. I used to find myself extremely overwhelmed and irritable asking myself "Who is going to take care of me" and one day it dawned on me... If I don't advocate for my own self-care no one will.

Self-care is is a mindset and a practice. It's intentionally evaluating what your needs are and what to do to meet those needs. This daily practice and it's not something that you are just going to magically become great at overnight. It's about small steps and it's about progress.

The way we show up for ourselves, not just impacts us. It impacts your children, your spouse and everyone else around you.

In today's episode I'm going to show you 5 steps to easily implement self-care into your routine and make it part of your reality.

I'm extremely excited to chat with you about how to get the most out of your time. Because let's be honest, not having enough time is something that every mama struggles with. I get asked about this all the time, and I know that this is something that so many of us struggle with, it's just this myth around not having enough time. But what it comes down to, is just not knowing what to spend your time on and not actually using it wisely.

You'll Learn How To:

• Establish and protect time blocks • Create a master task list • Assign the tasks • Eliminate distractions • Set yourself up for success

Do you ever find yourself yelling and snapping at your kids and feel like it's a never ending cycle?

This is a conversation that many mamas shy away from. We don't really like to admit that we sometimes lose it, and these meltdowns can often leave us feeling resentful towards our kids and like a complete failure as a mom.

In today's episode, I am going to be teaching you my 5 step system for how to recover after a meltdown.

• Recognize your responsibility + release any guilt • Reflect on the situation • Get to the root of the anger • Reconcile + reconnect • Recharge

Often the anger we express on the surface is only a part of the story. Typically we are masking a deeper emotion such as stress, frustration, embarrassment, pride, etc. I've included a graphic I created to show this anger iceberg analogy by the Gottman Institute. This is going to be extremely when you're working through step 3.

It is so important to be self-aware and walk through each of these steps. Once you've had a chance to implement this strategy a few times, teach it to your children and your spouse and empower them to recover from their own meltdowns and prevent them in future.

I'm excited to dive into Part Two of The One Woman Show Series, all about what to outsource in your business. I'm going to give you some simple steps to take and practical examples that will help you brainstorm what to outsource in your business and how to know when you're ready.

Last week we talked about outsourcing at home and how simple it can really be to free your time, energy, and mental head space by getting support from your family and outsourcing simple things like grocery shopping and house cleaning. If you haven't listened to that one yet, you can give it a listen here.

It is my hope that I can ease some of the hesitation you may be feeling surrounding spending more money. And why it may be true that you can do it all, it doesn't mean that you should.

Remember, you don't have to have a team to start outsourcing. You can start with apps and programs, move your way up to hiring contractors, and then eventually one day hire full time employees. So, for the purpose of today’s post, I’m focusing on just those first two. Let’s jump in!

Are you running a one woman show? Wearing all the hats and juggling all the things? If so, I can totally relate.

It's taken some time, and practice, but I no longer run a one woman show!!

In today's episode I'm so excited to introduce you to one of my closest friends and marketing genius Jessica McNichol. She is going to break it down for us today and give us some practical tips for planning, tracking and evaluating marketing strategies and how to know when to ditch the ones that aren't working.

Jessica is a wife, mom to five and is the founder and CCO at Jessica McNichol Creative. After experiencing the corporate world, operating as a communication & creative arts director for a large organization and opening her own successful online business, she’s taken her 16+ years of marketing & business experience to help coaches, influencers and world-changers maximize their impact online and minimize the stress of branding, business strategy and website creation.

She is a self-proclaimed personality test addict and loves to talk about all things enneagram. When she’s not helping her clients harness their strengths to maximize their impact, you can find her living that “soccer mom life” of shuttling her kids to practice in her mini-van … but she keeps it balanced by drinking champagne just because it’s tuesday ... just not while driving.

I am so excited to share with you this amazing conversation with Ash McDonald about cyclical mapping. If you're not familiar with what this is, it's tracking your menstrual cycle , all the phases that happen after that and how each of those play a crucial role in how we show up for ourselves. Cyclical mapping helps us enhance our productivity and efficiency in motherhood and business.

Here is just a brief rundown of the 4 phases and how we can start to show up for ourselves in a better way.

Our Menstrual phase lasts for 3-7 days, we need to move slower during this phase, eat foods packed with micro nutrients, drink decaf coffee, and avoid over exerting ourselves physically.

Our Follicular phase 7-10 days, our metabolism has slowed and we don't need as much food. This is a great time to lean into really intense workouts, and be dreaming, strategizing, researching and challenging ourselves.

Our Ovulation phase lasts for 3-4 day. Estrogen is at it's highest and energy come naturally. Ash recommends we go raw and vegan during this time to help prevent severe symptoms during our menstrual cycle. Intense workouts are great during this time and a perfect time to be launching, networking and socializing.

Our Luteal phase lasts 10-14 days. During this time we are likely to feel more hungry and need more calories from complex carbs and vitamin b rich foods. Pilates and slower moving workouts are perfect during this phase. We might not want to be super social but it's a great time to get to work on things behind the scenes.

Listen to the full episode for even more amazing tips and strategies.

I want to chat with you today and help you assess your habits. Do you have any bad habits that you need to work on? You're probably in one of two camps right now.

You're either in complete denial... "I have no bad habits, what are you talking about?"

or... You're super critical and you can think of 10 habits you need to break.

Whichever camp you're in, I want to help you zone in on one particular habit that you wish to change, and walk you through my system to break this bad habit.

My 5 Step System To Breaking Bad Habits:

• Step 1: Identify and Assess Your Habits

• Step 2: Get an Accountability Partner

• Step 3: Do Not Surround Yourself with Temptations

• Step 4: Replace Bad Habits with Better Habits

• Step 5: Be Consistent

One way you can take action right now is to reply to this message and let me know which bad habit you're going to focus on first!!! Recognizing areas for growth is the fist step. I dare you to take action today!!

I am really excited to share with you the most important revenue driver for your business, and that is your email list. Whether you have one and you’re not sure how to nurture it, or you really don’t know how to get started in creating one, this episode is going to be so amazing for you.

I can speak to you on your level because not long ago I was in your shoes. I thought having an email list was for people with more time on their hands, maybe a bigger audience, but definitely not for me. That could not be further from the truth. Everyone and I repeat, everyone who owns a business needs an email list. I hope you’re ready for a jam-packed episode and ready to get to work.

I recently learned about this incredible app for Gmail users that has completely changed my productivity. I currently manage four inboxes and always feel like I’m completely drowning trying to keep up. I am one of those people that loves to have my inbox to zero. But lately I have let my inbox get completely out of control until I found this amazing app that I cannot wait to share with you guys. I used to spend so much time switching between all of my Google Drives and being so annoyed with those alerts telling me that I had to log out of one account to log back in. Can you relate to this? If so, I am ready to blow your mind and teach you how to manage your inbox like a boss.
